Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan Earliest Archaeological Evidence for Vishnu “The earliest invocation to Vishnu, and not to Vasudeva, Krishna, Keshava or Samkarshana, occurs in a Sanskrit Inscription of 404 A.D. and discovered at Mandsor in Gwalior district (Sircar). (i) Earliest extant representation of Sheshashayi Vishnu is from 5th century brick temple at Bhitargav in Kanpur district. (ii) The next is on a relief at half ruined temple at Devgadha in Lalitpur district, of 6th century. A.D. (iii) Red stone relief at Badami of last quarter of 6th century A.D. (iv) Aihole in Bijapur is from end of 8th century A.D. (v) Pallava representation of this forms of Vishnu in the temple at Mahabalipuram is of middle of 8th century A.D. In the reign of Vikramaditya (5th monarch of Gupta line), Boar Vishnu was sculptured in the cave at Udayagiri near Bhilsa and Bhopal in M.P.,and nearby at Eran a feudatory of Gupta under suzerainty of Hunas erected a stone temple having inscription of 500-515 A.D.to this deity in Boar form. Later Vijayanagar monarchs in 14-16th centuries adopted Varaha form, adoption being so complete that their coins were called varahas. Gajendra Moksha Vishnu is seen Deogadh temple of 6th century A.D. We do not know about the sectarian affiliation of the first four Gupta kings. Fifth king Chandragupta II was described as Param Bhagwata. Sixth and seventh were named after Skanda. Skanda Gupta Junagadh inscription of 455-458 A.D.refers to Vamana or Trivikrama. Skanda Gupta having won great victory over Hunas created statue of Vishnu at Bhitar in Gazipur district of U.P.,in inscription he likens himself to Krishna.” 201
Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan Dr. K. Jamanadas 1991 http://www.dalitstan.org/books/tirupati/tiru10.html 202 Thus if we care to look into the art and architecture of Indian mythology and temples, we will be surprised at the lack of any temples prior to AD 200 dedicated to any of the gods or avatars. Even though Indian culture dates back to 8000 BC., the Hindu culture as envisioned today did not exist far beyond the first century AD. There is no lack of Budhist and Jain art, architecture and temples well beyond the Christian era. But there is a lack of any such art, architecture or temple or even literary documentation about “Hindu” art or architecture or temples. None of the gods or the noble philosophies appears before the advent of Thomas era. The great antiquity of Indian mythology and philosophies are simply a myth created very recently for political and social gains. This is what is being done even today in the Indian political arena, where this ignorance is taken advantage of and exploited. The essential tool used is the effective use of repetative assertion of fantasy and falsehood. The architecture of the ancient churches bears witness to this fact. In the early period the Christians of Kerala seem to have built their churches after the model of Hindu temples, as is evidenced by the alleged action of Vasco-da-Gama in entering a Kali temple at Calicut mistaking it for a Christian church. They adopted for their churches the temple plan comprised of a four-sided sanctuary with a large pillared hall in the front. The church had also a tower which, like the Sikhara above the Garbhagriha of the temple, soared to the maximum height. The indigenous tradition which influenced church architecture continued without break till the coming of the Portuguese in 1498 AD. As part of their policy of Latinisation of the Church is Kerala, the Portuguese introduced innovations in the design of church buildings.
